i agree jim lehrer did not enforce any time limits. why do two intelligent people need a moderator like that? they should follow their own rules. host: just how the candidates out there and let them go? caller: why not? host: what do you do? caller: i am a retired teacher. host: what did you think of the discussion on public education? caller: public education it needs a good dose of reality. all these people are so for choice except where counts, the education of your child. i don't believe public education is in general good for the country. i think every educator has to follow certain guidelines. i don't think necessarily that public schools of the way to go, especially with the strong teachers' unions. host: did you teach in a public or private school? caller: very few public schools have teacher unions. host: that was the treasure in california. she mentioned foreign policy it was her big issue. this debate last night was centered on domestic policy. that is why foreign policy did not play a role. here are the other debates coming

[ laughter ] and it also happens to be, tonight happens to be the obama's 20th wedding anniversary. that seems very convenient. honey, i'd love to go to the ballet with you, but i'm debating mitt romney that night. hey, mitt, help me out, will you?
